To say my children have been rapscallions the past three-days is putting it mildly. They have been at each other's throats, in each other's way, beating on each other (known to some as wrestling ... but when it ends in tears 9 out of 10 times I call it 'beating on your brother'). I am ready for school to start again!

I went to my local store and bought a $3 stuffed Santa as I could not really find an elf and I explained that Santa dropped him off last night and that each night he is going to move around the house. Later in the day, I watched them reconsider their actions as I watched one's little hands reach for the other's neck... and I reminded them "Santa is watching!" They both looked at the elf, smiled and found something better to do with their time. It seems it gave it a *tangible*, new perspective.
